The President and ISIS wife shown
About the City.
MINNEAPOLIS, Oct. 1l.-Ine pres1den-
tial party arrived at p. m. from st. Paul
and were Immediately escorted to the West
hotel. The streets were thronged with
people, many of whom had come hundreds
of miles to see the president and Mrs. Cleve-
land. The party was accorded a magnih-
cent ovation.
When the party arrived at the West hotel
lunch was served in private, after which
they were driven about the city in
carriages until about o'clock, when the
president was conducted to the balcony of
the hotel, where he addressed the multi
tude briefly. He highly eulogized the state
of Minnesota, and more particularly the
Twin cities" regarding the respective
merits of which, he said he had become
confused by the many facts and
fig res adduced, but that he had
arrived at the conclusion now. that if these
two wondrous cities are not satisfied with
their respective conditions of growth and
greatness. All the rest of their amazed
fellow countrymen are, and while the
people of rival places are twisting figures
about to determine which is the greatest
the rest of US are pointing to you both as the
best exemplification of what American
pluck and energy can accomplish"
After the speech the party proceeded to
the exposition in carriages, escorted by the
military and bands. They went directly
to the stand and Mayor Ames briefly intro
duced the president to the throng
of waiting people, and later he spoke
again in praise of the exposition
which, he said, gave proof Of the prosperity
of Minneapolis. He believed the sugges-
ton Sometimes made, that there should be
more sentiment, and less that is practical
in our life, is insincere and delusiVe.
''The GROWING glories of government
are cities such as yours-an increased
trade and commerce; multiplied, happy
and contented people; increased production
and financial growth. Does sentiment,
and especially sentiment that mopes
over the past and refuses
to look to the future, create these things?
The sentiment that will insure our con-
tinued prosperity will be found in that
friendly competition which shall induce
the wheat and -four of Minneapolis to
struggle with the cotton of Memphis and
Charleston in the race for national ad-
vaneement.n
At the close Of the speech the party re-
turned to the hotel, where an elaborate
supper was served. At 8 o'clock, escorted
by military as before. the honored guests
proceeded to the depot and took the train
for Omaha,

A NEBRASKA CASE.


Washington special: The acting sec
rotary of the interior has decided the
timber culture contest of Askel Hansen
VS.. David b. Spanagle and in his letter
to the commission about the case he
says: 81 have considered the case of
ASKED Hansen VS.. David B. Spanagle,
involving the latter's timber culture en-
try in the nw4 of sec. 10, t. 8, n. r. 12w,
Bloomington, Neb., appealed by the
former from the decision of your Office
dated November %, 1885, affirming the
decision of the local officers. dismissing
the contest. Spangler's entry was made
July /, 1881, contest was initiated Sep
temher is, 1884, and the registers and
receivers decision dismissing the con-
test was reversed February IA. 1885.
The contest is based on the ground that
the entryman failed to pillow and culti-
waite the land in the manner prescribed
In the statute during the second and
third year after entry. 1t satisfactorily
appears from the evidence that Mt some
recent period prior to entry fully ten
acres of the land in controversy had
been plowed; that this ten acres was cul-
tivated to crops the first year after en-
try; that during the second year two and
a half or three acres were planted to
timber; that during the three years the
ground so planted was at least par
tally cultivated, several additional
acres plowed and plated to timber and
that at the end of the third year there
was good set of small growing timber
trees on about six acres. 1t also appears
that the part of said ten acres which was
not planted to timber remained unculti-
waited during the second and third years
after entry, except that small portion
of it had been plowed once, and this, it
is insisted by the contestant, is such
noncompliance with the requirements
of the statute as forfeits the entry of
mans rights to said land. 1t can hardly
he said that the directions of the statute
have been strictly followed in this case,
for on full consideration of the law
and facts shown by the testimony no
sufficient reason can be discovered for
interfering with Your decision dismiss

Washington special: The Washing
ton correspondent of the Baltimore Sun
In his dispatch to that paper published
to-day, says of the forthcoming annual
report of the secretary of the secretary
of the navy: ''The annual report of
Secretary Whitney this year will be of
unusual interest, not only to the navy
but to the people of the country, who
applaud every advance made towards
the building up of a navy that will not
be an object of ridicule to foreign pow
ers or a source of shame to the patriotic
American. The secretary will introduce
a feature In his report which will prove
that ne has done more with less money
towards securing a new navy than any
of his predecessors. He now has q
mixed board of naval officers and clerks
of the department in an investigation of
the accounts Of the department for
twenty years past, which is to secure
him the data for this portion
of his report. The result of this search,
1t is confidently expected, will be to
show the excellence of the present adj
ministration of naval affairs. In one
branch of the service only has very little
been accomplished, notwithstanding the
liberal appropriations placed by con-
gress at its disposal The secretary has
endeavored to push this bureau forward
and has tried every means to bring it
up.to the general standard of excellence
but he has failed. 1t is difficult to de-
termine to what cause is due the failure
of the ordnance bureau to accomplish
anything. Some say it is because of
the incompetency of the officers for or
dinance duty. Others claim that it is
due to the difference in politics between
the chief OF the bureau and Secretary
Whitney. Those who give this last rea-
son state that the bureau OF ordnance
antaVonizes the secretary at every step,
and when the consolidation OF purchases
and supplies was requested by the secre-
tare, the bureau Of ordnance opposed il I
most bitterly, and left nothing undone /
that might tend to make the scheme UNI
popular QE Impossible to carry out"
